Aspiring Canadian ultra-low-cost carrier (ULCC) Jetlines has firmed up a deal to lease two 12-year-old Airbus A320's from Dublin-based AerCap and plans to use them to launch operations, likely in early 2019. Vancouver-based Jetlines, which had planned to launch this month, has not announced a new start-up date. But the carrier said its first aircraft are slated to be delivered “before the first half” of next year, suggesting an early 2019 start-up. Lukas Johnson was named Jetlines CEO May 2018 after more than eight years at Las Vegas-based ULCC. Allegiant Air, where he helped the carrier introduce its first A320s and established a plan to become an all-Airbus carrier by the end of this year. Jetlines signed a tentative deal to lease the two A320's on April 23, one month before Johnson’s hiring was announced. The carrier originally planned to launch with Boeing B737-800's. It also has a letter of intent and has made at least two pre-delivery deposit payments on order for five B737-7's and options on 16 more, including conversion rights to B737-8's.

Miles to Millions by Bill Grenier.
That “something” was the fact that the captain had slumped over in his seat and was no longer involved in the takeoff process. This is how Bill Grenier opens his book, and the excitement builds as this pilot relates his flying experiences from ab initio days to senior captain of the line, all revealed in a page-turner he calls Miles to Millions. Those “Millions” aren’t miles, by the way, but dollars earned, as we are treated to how high finance became a dual profession for this pilot. Bill’s life reads like a Dow Jones Average on wings. Prices at CDN $35.95 includes shipping in Canada. Available from www.Aviatorsbookshelf.ca |
